Ques. Which is better, mining in IIT Kharagpur or mechanical in IIT Patna?

● Top Answer By Vishal Sharma on 20 Jun 24

Ans. First of all you need to lose this ideology that mechanical has more scope and mining has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities. I also had the same dilemma and I chose Mining at IIT Kharagpur over other departments for to following reasons:- IIT Kharagpur is famous for its Mining branch which is one of the core branches in b.tech. IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Patna is Ranked 41th . IIT Kharagpur has a Median Salary of 16 LPA while IIT Patna is at 12 LPA . IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest institutes in India established in 1951. Coal India also comes for recruitment at IIT Kharagpur and international companies like Rio Tinto come for recruitment process.Read more

Ques. How is IIT Dhanbad (mineral engineering)?

● Top Answer By Ankit Sharma on 24 Nov 23

Ans. As a former student of Mineral Engineering at IIT Dhanbad, I will offer some insight into my department- Advantages The number of lectures and syllabus of Mineral Engineering are quite manageable. With some effort, you’ll easily score a good CGPA in all your semesters. The course will give you free time to study for CAT/GRE/UPSC, or to practice coding. The department allows more freedom to enjoy campus life and perform other activities on the side. Disadvantages You can’t write the GATE exam. Very few core companies visit the campus, and the placement scenario is in a poor state for Mineral students. However, with good communication skills and an 8+ CGPA, you can hope to get placed in a good organization. The curriculum is light, so you’ll severely lag behind foreign university students. The package offered to Mineral students stands nowhere compared to that grabbed by CSE students. But despite the disadvantages, you’ll have to make peace with the fact that your rank isn’t enough for CSE. Also, not everyone in CSE performs exceptionally. Mineral Engineering (especially at IIT Dhanbad) has very limited scope, but it offers you ample freedom and time to work on your skills and build your future. Read more

Ques. Is it worth joining mining in NIT Raipur, which I got in 3rd round, in terms of placement?

● Top Answer By Aditya Mishra on 12 Sept 23

Ans. Given your rank of 2900, it would be very difficult to get CSE in these colleges. So you need a lot of luck during the Spot Counseling. If anyone withdraws their admission at the last moment from the CSE branch of these colleges then you might get admission. There are chances of getting a seat in MSIT or BVCoE, but it is very difficult in MAIT. Here are the recent cutoff trends of both MAIT and BVCoE MAIT Cutoff 2022 Round JEE Main IPU-CET Round 1 19671 22910 Round 2 26701 - Round 3 28594 BVCoE Cutoff 2022 Round JEE Main IPU CET Round 1 33640 36573 Round 2 41775 41775 Round 3 42573 42573 Although the chances of getting CSE are low, you might get EEE with this rank. You can upgrade your branch to CSE by working hard.Read more

Ques. How is Mining Engineering at NIT Raipur? What can I expect my starting package to be (roughly)?

● Top Answer By Satyam Purwar on 12 Sept 23

Ans. NIT Raipur Mining Engineering is one of the best in the country. However, the prospects are very challenging so you will have to work hard to excel in this field. If you are confused about any branch, go through its strengths and weaknesses. For instance, a mining engineer gets paid handsomely but his working conditions are very challenging and may even affect his health. Generally, the placement scenario of branches like CSE, IT, and mining is very good. Last year 62 offers were made to 70 eligible students. I asked my friend for the detailed statistics and here is what he shared The maximum salary package offered was 55 LPA. The minimum salary package offered ranges between 15 LPA - 25 LPA. Around 85% of students got placed in various tech and non-tech companies. Top recruiting companies are Vedantu, Adani, JSW, and Tata Steel. About 40% of students got internships in non-core companies. Overall, the mining engineering branch is a good choice if you are genuinely interested in the field.Read more

Ques. What is the scope and the average salary of mining engineering at IIT Kharagpur?

● Top Answer By Anumita Chatterjee on 23 Mar 23

Ans. The scope of Mining is very limited and can be accessed only if you are truly interested in Mining and are serious about pursuing a career in the same. I suggest you pursue higher education in Mining from an elite foreign university like Colorado School of Mines, Royal School of Mines, and University of New South Wales. This will nurture your technical skills to the best. Another suggestion in this regard is that you can also go for ISM. The enthusiasm for Mining at ISM is like nowhere else. However, if you are after a good package rather than pursuing your enthusiasm, then IIT KGP is a better option. IIT KGP has an abundance of opportunities for the students academic environment is second to none. It offers extensive exposure and is thus most preferred by Engineering students of all branches. As far as recruiters are concerned, a large number of them offer jobs to students at IIT KGP mainly because of the credibility of the Institute irrespective of the branch. Also, very few companies offer core jobs in Mining. Therefore, most mining students end up with non-core jobs. Some Core Companies for Mining visiting IIT KGP are Tata Steel Coal India ltd Vedanta Resources Jindal Steel Ltd The average CTC is around 8 LPA. Read more

Ques. Should I join IIT Kharagpur mining engineering just for IIT Tag?

● Top Answer By Senjuti Gupta on 23 Mar 23

Ans. Joining a certain branch that you are not even interested in just for the IIT tag is not the most logical decision. One usually decides on a certain branch for 3 reasons; either to get a good package or to pursue your area of interest or to follow the majority. However, in the case of Mining Engineering, this is not the case at all. You won’t be available to avail either of these benefits because of its low demand. In fact you will end up with the following circumstances You will have to work extremely hard in the first year in order to get a branch change In case you are unable to get a branch change, you will start running after POR, join different clubs to work on your non Engineering abilities. During placements you will be more inclined towards Non-Core placements because of your aversion to Mining. Still, if you are adamant about getting into IIT, then join only if You want to work in analytics, consult or analyst after 4 years instead of Engineering If you want to pursue MBA from an IIM If you want to switch your field after graduation. The reason why I am suggesting you give up Engineering is that with Mining, you can literally pursue anything other than Engineering. So it’s better you make up your mind for the same or apply to other institutes.Read more

Ques. Where should I enroll, NIT Surathkal (mining engineering) or PES University (computer science)?

● Top Answer By Aditi Sinha on 11 May 22

Ans. There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA.

In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages. Read more
